cool. Never got round finishing the script. I have something to pull data 
from radiotimes but it's about 200 kb download for a day which is a bit 
inefficient.

Ananova provides 5 days right?
day=0 -> 4 ? as in

Problems BBC News 24 by any chance too? I always thought this is related to 
full featured Siemens cards trying to decode. It's the first time I hear 
this with a dxr3 and that raises interesting points... something with 
setting PIDs (maybe gone with latest patches from Oliver to CVS?) is up 
because it seems to tune to the frequency fine but fails to show a pic.
